For me the crux of time management is organization - scheduling, prioritizing, making helpful lists ...

I think prioritizing is a critical early step -but needs to be revisited occasionally. Needs, resources etc. change

I think time management is something the underpins most of the discussions I have with colleagues, now thinking about it...

Time management affects all parts of our lives (family, fun, leisure, etc.) not just work and school!

Q2) What’s the most stressful aspect of this time of the academic year?
#IOLchat
bnleez
May 4 @ 12:24 PM EDT
Yeah, change is all about sorting out everyone's priorities; adapting then aligning priorities around a common & individual goals.

Well said - it's the transition and all the extra loose ends between terms that gets me every time.

A2: And during the summer months, it is usually about PD, whether facilitating or taking a course.

The summer "break" is never long enough for all of the things I have planned to do!

Exactly, those loose ends...the devil's in the details. Committing to things we might have put off.

And we aren't alone. Perhaps it's part of the culture of higher ed in some way? Expectations.
